Stream: Redlight Source 16

Redlight (known to the D’n’B community as Clipz) is a producer that arrived on the house, electro and dubstep scenes with such a meticulously-refined sound back in 2009 that those in the dark wondered just who the hell he was. In fact, almost the same ‘hang on a minute, this is a bit polished for a new guy’ feeling we all had during the Fake Blood whodunit of the previous year. Since then, the Redlight name has become synonymous with the endless hybridity of electronic sub-genres, and in his case it’s the bastard love child of electro, dubstep and dancehall, with some Clipz synths shining through for good measure.

From the more classic house sounds of ‘Rock The House’ to the massive ‘Stupid’ (feat. Roses Gabor) and ‘What You Talking About?’ (feat. Ms Dynamite), Redlight productions (found on Lobster Boy, MTA and now Digital Soundboy) have consistently impressed and earned him a place among electro’s hall of fame, and it has to be said Source 16 is something of a game-changer. With teaser plays featured as far back as on Roska’s Nov’ 2010 Essential Mix and with massive airplay since, the unleashing of Source 16 has been anticipated with baited breath…if you don’t know, get to know. So good, there’s a Youtube video to commemorate the release of the release date!
